Deleted two times as an A7. Needs some evaluation about the subjects notability. feydey (talk) 10:15, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete No evidence of notability at all, either in the article or elsewhere. In fact it qualifies for a speedy deletion under A7, as there is no credible claim of importance in the article. Probably spam. JamesBWatson (talk) 10:26, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete I can understand producers/directors/actors, but since when do the techies of this kind (non-notable ones at that) usually warrant an article? Overall non-notable. Ks0stm (T•C•G) 12:02, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. (GregJackP (talk) 14:46, 10 March 2010 (UTC))
 * Delete, not notable. Hairhorn (talk) 15:34, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep  First of all this article is not spam.  Keith McDowell is a  colorblind artist first makeup artist second and part of the Roosevelt family line.  As a novice to Wikipedia, I can understand the negative feedback and continue to edit this article. It can be overwhelming when I receive feedback from various volunteers that require immediate attention.  I thought I was in a draft working space until I felt I was as complete as possible before having my hours of work deleted.  I welcome any and all constructive direction. Please advise.

 * Delete No indication why this person is notable enough to warrant an article. Notability is not inherited through association with notable people. TN X Man  16:58, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete – per nomination and it lacks evidence of notability.  ttonyb  (talk) 18:00, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete I can't find any evidence of notability.  Them From  Space  23:11, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete This guy is not in the top echelon of his trade whether or not he is colour blind, though what that has to do with anything I don't know. Millions of colour blind people get on with life every day. I'd be more impressed if he was an electrician and was still alive! I don't know if Mr McDowell is pitching for a new show at the moment, but if he is WP is not the correct venue. --Fred the Oyster (talk) 04:16, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
 * reply to Fred the Oyster  - Wow Fred the Oyster please refrain from sarcasm. I'm all for healthy constructive feedback and I will certainly do more research on notability but I find your comments regarding disabilities and speculation distasteful, uncalled for and combative. (Ben Torres, Photographer (talk) 16:29, 10 March 2010 (UTC))  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.148.199.51 (talk) — 98.148.199.51 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Research on notability will gain you more insight into the guidelines of notability within the Wikiproject, it will not however improve Mr McDowell's chances of gaining notability. As for what you perceive as sarcasm is in fact incredulity that the weight given to McDowell's colour blindness will in some way increase his notability. --Fred the Oyster (talk) 05:42, 11 March 2010 (UTC)


 * I honestly do not even begin to understand what is supposed to be sarcastic, distasteful, or combative about Fred the Oyster's comments. Is Ben Torres, Photographer being a little hypersensitive? I have defective colour vision, and I don't see anything to be offended by. JamesBWatson (talk) 10:53, 12 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete per nomination - I don't see evidence of notability, since there are no independent or reliable third party sources provided. Also, the article Ben Torres appears to be connected, as the subjects appear to have created articles about each other. TheRealFennShysa (talk) 21:19, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
